Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

This guide, written by sisters Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, is one of the best books on stress management for women. Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle explains why women experience burnout differently than men and offers a simple, science-based plan to help women reduce stress, manage emotions, and live happier life.

What is expected of women and what it is really like to be a woman in today's world are two very different things—and women work themselves to exhaustion trying to bridge the gap. How can you "love your body" when every magazine cover offers ten diet tips to help you become "your best self"? How do you "lean in" at work when you're already giving 110% and aren't being recognized for it? How can you live a happy and healthy life in a sexist world that tells you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy, and too selfish?

Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are sisters who want to help you break the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking you to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand in the way of women's well-being, they explain what you're up against—and show you how to fight back. These pages will teach you:

• what you can do to end the biological stress cycle and return your body to a relaxed state
• how to manage the "monitor" in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration
• what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle and return your body to a state of relaxation
• why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are essential for recovering from and preventing burnout

All women will find something transformative in this book—with the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises—and will be empowered to create positive change. Emily and Amelia aren't here to preach broad platitudes about expensive self-care or to insist on the impossible goal of "having it all." Instead, they tell you that you are enough just the way you are, and that true wellness is within your grasp.
